    Try wearing Polaroid sunglasses to reduce the glare? Alternatively get a glass bottomed boat, or adapt a bucket: might be able to see the bottom more clearly.

    • @TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel
      @TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel  3 года назад +1

      never thought of the sunglasses actually 👍 you mean like one of those boxes with a glass bottom , could try that yes but the bottom ( 3 M ) was very black covered by reeds , thanks for your ideas and thanks for watching the video

    Hi Mike and Kirsty,
    What an awful thing to happen, very frustrating. I see your efforts to get it back with the garden rake were unsuccessful. Maybe something with more like grappling hooks would be better at catching hold of one of the tripod legs. It might be a good idea to widen your search a bit, the undercurrent might have moved it. Good luck with your search, I hope you finally get it back. Take care.
    Ian and Angie.

      @TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel  3 года назад

      thanks ian & angie yes it was a bit of a bad day we were there most of the day throwing that rake , definitely agree with the undercurrent, although the river looked peaceful , underneath was a strong current , will try other methods next week , thanks for watching and commenting

      Hi Mike,
      I forget to mention this bit, it could be worthwhile wearing a pair of polarised sunglasses, it might help to take the glare off the top of the water.

  • @CamperVanya
    @CamperVanya 3 года назад +1

    Oh no, hope you manage to retrieve it, better chance with the tripod attached I s’ pose but still quite a large area to search and those pesky reeds won’t help. How deep/clear is it? Would you see anything if you just dipped your head in wearing googles?! I don’t know the water quality whether safe or not. I certainly wouldn’t venture right in, too risky!

    • @TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel
      @TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel  3 года назад +1

      it was much deeper than we thought sue and almost black at the bottom under the reeds , someone on a narrow boat advised not to go in on that particular day cos of the undercurrent but on good calm days it’s pretty clear , typical tho eh ! just unlucky and carelessness by me
